NOTE FROM THE CEO

How has the pandemic impacted your personal relationships? Multiple studies have found that 73% of U.S. adults in relationships said quarantine has actually strengthened their connection with their significant others. Forced pandemic togetherness surprisingly helped many couples bond as they worked together to adapt to the unforeseen, instantaneous and far-reaching changes in their professional and personal lives.

This issue of Growing Bolder Magazine features a George Diaz story on Kirt and Maxine Earhart. Kirt and Maxine have one of the most popular and critically acclaimed neighborhood restaurants in Florida. They are, to put it mildly, hands-on owners. But when the pandemic struck, like all restauranteurs, their lives were turned upside down and their livelihood was threatened. Like all couples, their relationship was challenged in unprecedented ways. How could they find their way forward? How could they work together to keep their shared dream alive? Their story will make you smile. It’s one of love, belief, and resilience. It’s a story of Growing Bolder.

How we respond to the never-ending challenges of life determines, to a large extent, the quality of our life moving forward. Resilience is one of many gifts of growing older and it’s a muscle we’ve all had to develop during the pandemic. To paraphrase Charles Darwin, it’s the not strongest or most intelligent species that survive. It’s the most adaptable to change.
